Kanto doesn’t have to be a bad thing. We haven’t properly seen Kanto properly since 2010 with hgss. Though this wasn’t properly playing through Kanto which was back on 2003 with fire red and leaf green.

Not to mention that regions 1-4 are more interconnected then unova and onward because since those games, the regions have been very linear.
